In snippet editor, the %EnvVar% works, but it seems that VA loads the variables list when Visual Studio starts up, if you change the value of the env variable, VA will still use the old one.
I guess maybe you can provide a way to update/retrieve/refresh the environment variables?

What Visual Studio and Visual Assist version are you using?
Why do you need this? Can you please give me an example where it would be useful for you?
How do you change the environment variable? |

| That's how Windows handle environment variables. They aren't global, but derived from either system/user defaults and/or parent process. Once the new process is created, variables are copied and they lose any connection with their ancestors. |
